Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. is, 191 9.

Application filed February 17, 1919. Serial No. 277,590.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that ll, WILFRID Gr. CHAUssE,

a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have'invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Distributers for Vapor-Burners, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

In my pending application filed April 11, 1918, Serial No. 161,381 there is disclosed a novel distributer tor a vapor burner, and this invention is an improvement on my former distributer .as I accomplish better results and employ standard material in the construction of the distributer.

llhis invention also includes novel tie brackets adapted for sup orting the distributer in proximit to the rail or other track equipment to be heated, and all the construction entering into the improvement will be hereinafter described and then claimed.

Reference will now be had to the drawing, wherein- Figure 1 is a plan of a portion of a track equipment provided with a heater-in accordance with my invention;

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the heating device, partly broken away;

, lBig. 3'is a cross sectional view of the same, showlng the manner of supporting the heater relative to a tie and a rail, and

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a tie bracket.

A heater in accordance with my invention comprises a conduit or tubular member 1 that may be of any desired length, and this tubular member may be constructed of cast iron with optposed walls thereof provided with tie ro' or bolt openings 2 and one of said walls with a series of et open ings 3.

la the openings 2 are placed transverse tie rods or bolts 4 having the outer ends thereof provided with spacing members or sleeves 5 and nuts 6.

Un the outer ends of the bolts 4, between the sleeves 5 and the nuts ,6, is a longitudinally disposed angle bar having one flange 7' hood having its bottom open.

One end of the tubular conduit 1 is provided with a cap 9 having openings 10 and connected to said cap is a rotary shutter 11 co'riperating with said cap in providing a damper adapted to regulate the draft through the tubular conduit and the admission of air to sustain combustion within said conduit. Detachably connected to the opposite endof the tubular conduit is a conventional form of burner including a casing 12 having suitable openings to admit air and sustain combustion, a fuel supply pipe 13, a heater coil 14 and aburner 15.

This burner is adapted to project a flame into the tubular conduit 1 and said flame I will pass throu h the openings 3 and provide a series of ets within the hood formed by the angle bar attached to the side of said conduit.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the heater has a clamping member 19, said bracket parts being suitably connected together, as at 20,

and to the ties 16, as at 21. These brackets represent suitable means for supporting the heater relative to the ties, and in some instances the heater may be rovided with a nozzle 22 extending to 0t er parts of a switch so as to conduct heat or flame thereto and thus prevent the elements from. interfering with the operation of the track equipment. 7

Any suitable source of fuel may be employed for the burner, and I would have it understood that the structural elements of the heater are susceptible to such cha as fall within the scope of the appened claims. 1

What I claim is l. A heater of the type described comprising a conduit, a burner at one end thereof adapted to direct a" flame intosa1d conduit, a damper mounted on the opposite end of said conduit, said conduit having an apertured-wall, and an angle bar connected to said conduit adjacent the a ertured wall thereof and having a lateral ange-extending toward said conduit.

2; A heater of the type described comprising a perforated conduit, bolts extending therethrough, an angle bar supported by said bolts adjacent the perforations of said conduit and providing a hood, and heat supplying means for said conduit.

3. A heater of the type described comprising a conduit having an apertured Wall, a. burner at one end of said conduit, a damper at the opposite end thereof, bolts trans- 10 versely of said conduit, an angle bar supported'by said bolts against the nperturcd Wall of said conduit and providing a hood longitudinally thereof, and supporting means for said conduit.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature
